From 4/15/2011 to 9/21/2012 Paul maintained a blog, "Something Entirely Different," which he said was "about one thing, the only thing that matters, the only reason we even exist, if we need a reason to exist.... This blog is about love. It’s about love’s corollaries, compassion and community."  Friends are encouraged to browse at http://entirelydifferent.net/.
